The Use 1t is Now Proposed to Make OF
Alaska.
NEW YORK, Marcn 29.-The Herald
this morning says: The articles in the
Herald on the question OF convict
labor are being widely read by work.
ingmen, and the plan suggested of
sending law breakers TO Alaska, where
they would not compete with the free
labor Of the various states, but still at
the same time benefit the government
and themselves, has met with many
warm endorsements. A reporter con-
versed with a number of prominent
workingmen yesterday In regard TO
the matter, and here are given some
of their opinions:
James +. Downing, of the executive
board Of District No. rs, said: "lf the
scheme Of sending convicts to Alaska
Is adopted, am IN favor of having
the convlcts build railroads In the
new country and letting the govern
ment operate them. The scheme pro-
proposed is the best thing / have ever
heard Of in regard to convict labor. IL
will he a good thing for the various
trades which have suffered in conse-
quence Of state prison competition,
and will be good thing f,r the con-
victs themselves. | am in favor of
giving convicts q speedy trial and
sending them immediately to Alaska"
Jamee II. McGees, master work man
OF district assembly No, 75, remarked
that he had read the article and con-
sidered the plan most brilliant one.
1T will better serve to settle the ques-
ton OF convict labor" he said, ethan
anything 1 have heard of yet. 1t will
also be a great preventative of crime.
Al present convicts look upon going

punishment, but when convicts know
that they are 10 be sent to Alaska for
crime II will make them think twice
before they violate the law. The
scheme Of colonization Is proved TO be
good thing by the history of Austria
liza. The convicts have become better
men and have been q benefit to the
state.n
James Z. Quinn, master workman
Of district assembly No. 49, said: "The
great problem is what to do with the
convicts. II Is necessary that they
snould labor, but the avarice Of indi-
vidusls oflate has putItbe convicts In al
position Of being used for personal
gain, when If their labor had been
used Cor the general good they would
have been employed upon roads, etc.
While this has not been done In the
past there is no reason why II should
not be done at prerent. Any system
will be better than that which makes
the convict the mere competitor of
the working man"
Andrew j. Best, secretary Of the
Empire Protective Association, stated
that he thought Alaska was fine
country for the convicts, where they
would be better off than inside prison
walls. A large number OF them would
undoubtedly settle on public lands
and become respectable citizens, and
in that country they would forget the
past and leave their old lives behind
them. He favored the scheme in
every particular.

FARMERS CONGRESS.

A general convention of farmers.
denominated Farmers Congress-" as.
sembled in Chicago last week. There
were representatives present from
many parts of the Union. 1t is said
to have been digniied and fine APP
pearing body of men. Many of the
speeches were creditable, although
made by those Impractical in public
speaking. There are some facts which
farmers would do we'll to consider.
Over one-half of the population of the
United States are classed as farmers.
There were in Congress 325 members
in the House of Representative last
session. OF this number only % were
farmers. In the Senate there was
not single member credited with the
occupation of farmer. If farmers de.
sire larger representation of their
number in Congress, it is for them to
move in the matter; the professional
classes will not be apt to take special
interest in their behalf. There are
subjects now pressing on the attention
OF the agricultural people of this coun-
try of great Importance, and which
were referred to in the Farmers Con-
gress at Chicago. Articles of food,
such as cabbages, potatoes and other
vegetables, which can be supplied to
an unlimited extent at home, found a
market here brought from Northern
Europe, where cheap labor is ABUNDANT.
1t is calculated, with a good degree of
certainty, that the time is near at
hand when wheat grown in India will
be marketed in New York at fifty
cents a bushel. The wheat-growinS
sections of this country cannot CON-

SOCIETIES OF CHRISTIAN

ANARCHY INFECTIONS.

The Wisconsin State Convention of
Knights of Labor met at Fond du Lac
on Thursday of last week. The poison
of anarchy seems to have infected to
limited extent this organization, as
wei! as other bodies of reformers at
the present day. A resolution was
offered abiding to the execution of the
anarchists in Chicago, protesting
against any hereafter interference of
the authorities with the right of free
speech. For the credit of the conyen-
ton, the resolution was promptly voted
down. But it is well to notice how
widespread the declaration is now
made that the anarchists were brought
to the scaffold for exercising the con-
stitutional right Of free speech. Every
little paper with anarchist sympathies
is directly or indirectly uttering the
base falsehood that free speech is no
longer tolerated in this country, but
punishable with death. What safety
would there be for human life, if des-
perate men with murder in their hearts
should collect around them ignorant
peo pleand byfree speech inhame their
passions, firing their hearts, influencing
the throwing of deadly bombs, causing
slaughter and death? Ought such in-
citers to crime escape punishment on
the plea that they were exercising the
privilege of free speech9 In no civiliz.
ed country in the. world could men
guilty of such offences escape punish
ment. By the evidence before the jury
In the case of the condemned anarch-
lists they were accessory to the crime
of killing seven men and wounding
about sixty others.

WHERE ORANGES ARE BEST
GROWN.

Our townsman, E. w. Van VIE, has
recently returned from an extended
tour in California, anG gives US an ac-
count Of his observations in that just
at present much talked about region of
country. This was the fourth visit of
Mr.. Van VIE to California within the
past dozen years. and he is therefore
prepared to express intelligent opinion
of the portions of that state for those
who wish to make the growing of
oranges speciality. Mr.. Van VIE
says that those who suppose the larger
part of California is adapted to the
producing of oranges are much mis-.
taken; that in only Il limited portion
of the state can the growing of oranges
for market be made profitable bust
ness. The San Gabriel valley, a long
stretch of territory bounded on the
north by the Sierra Nevada mountains,
has a soil of inexhaustible fertility,
and has superior advantage for irri-
CATION from the mountains. there being
ar abundance of water, and is believed
to be the most sure part of the country
for the orange crop. Mr.. Van VIE has
made purchase at Ontario. new
town. From this town broad avenue
200 feet wide, is constructed to the
foot of the mountains, a distance of
seven miles. Four rows of trees are
being planted on this avenue the en-
tire length. On either side of the
avenue the lands are surveyed into
lots of different size for such as desire
to engage in the business of growing
oranges. Two railroads are running
parallel with each other at only a small
distance apart through the valley.
Lands are not cheap, but capital in
vested in an orange plantation will pay
double on the investment of that in
lands for agricultural or stock.ralsing
purposes. Mr.. Van VIE does not claim
that the location he has selected is su-
perior to others in the San Gabriel
valley. He authorizes us to make this
general statement for the benefit of his
inquiring friends.

city Of Kenosha for $3.50. Whether
the amount found BY the jury IN these
cases was too high or too low we offer
no opinion; reason, we did not hear the
evidence. But the verdicts in these
two cases should be a reminder to the
taxpayers in both cities and counties,
that cities are responsible for damages
sustained by defective sidewalks, and
towns for unsafe bridges and cause
ways. The law which gives damages
for these deficiencies is good one.
The travelling public both in city and
country have right to expect that
the reads in a neighborho0d should be
kept in reasonably good repair, and in
the city, especially where no street
lights are afforded, accidents resulting
from Uan-traps on sidewalks should
be awarded damages to the persons in
jured. Kenosha is among the oldest
incorporated cities iii the state. and
there can be no good excuse for dilapi-
dated sidewalks.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISEMENTS.

An advertisement of the present day,
as a rule, is model of clearness, precis-
ion, and compactness.
In fact, quite degree of pleasure can
be derived from the perusal OF it, aside
from the important information which
it oftentimes conveys.
In ingenuity the modern advertise
ment is remarkable in fact. it is fire.
quently work of art, both in literary
and typographical sense. The aim of
some advertisers in many cases seems to
be to draw the attention of the reader
away from the fact that it is an adver-
tisement. While not taking rank among
what may be termed literary produc-
tons, it possesses many Of their bright
est features. In the hands of master
workman, be he advertiser, writer, or
| composltor, the matter becomes attrac-
tive to the most casual reader. The lat
ter's attention is drawn toward it, and
his interest in it aroused before he is
fully aware of the fact The old style of
merely putting ones merchandise has
passed out of date. The reading and
purchasing public of to-day demand
something stronger and better. That
this want is recognized and appreciated
by the keen advertiser and equally alert
public is apparent to almost every one.
The fact is, advertising has become such
an integral part of modern business
methods that it is almost impossible to
carry on any kind of trade or traffic
without its aid. 1t is we'll known that
many concerns pay large salaries to
skilled writers whose only employment
is the invention and the framing of at
tractive and telling advertisements.
Thousands of dollars are annually ex-
pended simply in putting the matter in
shape, and many millions more for its
publication in the press. The firm who
can express in clear, strong, and concise
language, set in attractive form of dis
| play, just what it has to offer, at once
attracts the merchant as well as the con.
sumner.
No merchant can now wholly depend
for business upon the fact of his being
well known to the trade. No matter
how many years he may have been es.
tablished, or how familiar his name is tc
the purchasing public, or how celebrated
his wares are, if he does not advertise
and keep dong so in some way, buyers
and consumers will in time ignore him
and visit and trade with his competitor
who sounds his trumpet upon all occa
sions to the extent of thousands of dol
lars year, and pays the same withou
murmur because it pays him to do so.-

An exciting election involving a
school question is agitating the citizens
Of St. Louis. For many years past
German has been taught in the public
schools of that city. The objection is
now raised that the school moneys
should be applied to teaching English
only. On this public sentiment is
divided in that city, and the issue is
holly contested, German or no Ger
man." In this city years ago German
was taught in the High school by
competent instructors, and large num-
bers of young men and women were
engaged in the study of German.
There are none now.
